The json wrapper tools, `bin/jfmt-wrapper.sh`, `bin/jprint-wrapper.sh`
and `bin/jval-wrapper.sh` have been updated as follows:
The `-Q` option now does a quick test, ignores args, and exits.
With `-Q`, the required args are ignored and are not required.
The quick testing of `JSONPath.sh` via `-Q` is fixed.
Leading commends about the tools have improved.
A few typos have been fixed.
The `-v 3` variable printing is performed just before any `-N` test.

We released [mkiocccentry toolkit](https://github.com/ioccc-src/mkiocccentry) **version 2.4.6 2025-04-26**.
While you are **NOT** required to use this release in order to submit to **IOCCC28**,
we do **RECOMMEND** that you **install and use** it, because among other things, it provides:
* Enhanced the scanning process of topdir, excluding ignored files and directories from the count against the maximum allowed limit.
* Clarified the purpose of a submission title to emphasize that it should not contain names.
* Default handles may now contain UPPERCASE letters.
The `JSONPath.sh` has been updated (and bug fixed).
The `-A` option is gone and `-4` has been added.

and upload your submission.
The **IOCCC28** is [open for registration](https://www.ioccc.org/next/register.html).
Those who have registered have until **2025-06-05 04:03:02.010099 UTC** to

Added processing of "%%REPO_TOP_URL%%" tokens to `bin/subst.default.sh`.
Updated `find-missing-links.sh` to not falsely report missing links
when a "%%REPO_TOP_URL%%" token is used.
Changed `bin/subst.default.sh` VERSION from "1.3.2 2024-08-05"
to "1.4.0 2025-04-16".
Changed `bin/find-missing-links.sh` VERSION from "1.1.1 2024-04-28"

Due to a `pandoc(1)` bug fix, `2011/fredriksson/index.html` and
`2012/kang/index.html` were modified. The bug fix removed extraneous
whitespace that was previously introduced into HTML under certain
situations. These 2 changes do **NOT** impact the way web browsers
render these pages, however.
Updated sitemap.
Updated tarballs based on entry mods since 2025 March 4
(commit 233e5e90a5 just prior
to the IOCCC28 open).
Tested the above via `make update` on macOS.
Updated `bugs.html` to reflect the fix of all known bugs in `2000/dlowe`.
Added thank you to John Dalbec in `thanks-for-help.md`.
Added processing of "%%REPO_TOP_URL%%" tokens to `bin/subst.default.sh`.
Updated `find-missing-links.sh` to not falsely report missing links
when a "%%REPO_TOP_URL%%" token is used.
Changed `bin/subst.default.sh` VERSION from "1.3.2 2024-08-05"
to "1.4.0 2025-04-16".
Changed `bin/find-missing-links.sh` VERSION from "1.1.1 2024-04-28"
to "1.2.0 2025-04-16".
Due to a `pandoc(1)` bug fix, `2011/fredriksson/index.html` and
`2012/kang/index.html` were modified. The bug fix removed extraneous
whitespace that was previously introduced into HTML under certain
situations. These 2 changes do **NOT** impact the way web browsers
render these pages, however.
Updated sitemap.
Tested the above via `make www gen_status gen_sitemap timestamp` on macOS.
Search engines become confused when they discover pages such
as under `inc/head.default.html` that are **NOT** real pages,
but rather quasi-templates that are used by bin tools in the
generation of HTML content. So we "_Disallow_" search engine
access to URLs under `inc/` except for the two "safe" pages.
Updated `sitemap.xml` as per recent modifications.
Add news of the mkiocccentry toolkit version 2.4.4 2025-03-15.
Note that C is the official locale of the IOCCC in the IOCCC guidelines
version 28.47 2025-03-15.
In conjunction with changes made to "the other repo",
we now set:
export LANG="C"
export LC_CTYPE="C"
export LC_NUMERIC="C"
export LC_TIME="C"
export LC_COLLATE="C"
export LC_MONETARY="C"
export LC_MESSAGES="C"
export LC_PAPER="C"
export LC_NAME="C"
export LC_ADDRESS="C"
export LC_TELEPHONE="C"
export LC_MEASUREMENT="C"
export LC_IDENTIFICATION="C"
export LC_ALL="C"
instead of just "$LC_ALL", "$LANG", "$LC_NUMERIC".
In all bin shell scripts, set `LC_ALL`, `LANG`, and `LC_NUMERIC` to "C".
Changed all bin shell script VERSION to "2.0.0 2025-03-13".
Tested the above via `make www` on macOS. Only the sitemap was updated.
Added news based on the recent
[release 2.4.3 2025-03-11](https://github.com/ioccc-src/mkiocccentry/releases/tag/2.4.3)
of the [mkiocccentry toolkit](https://github.com/ioccc-src/mkiocccentry).
Updated the FAQ with additional information about the above mentioned release.
Fixed use of double blank lines in `faq.md` so that they:
- precede all markdown headings
- precede and follow all "Jump to top" lines
Added missing "Jump to top" lines.
Fixed Section 2 internal link.
Performed `make www gen_status gen_sitemap timestamp` to update the website.
In order simplify the write-up of the actual Rule 17
into a new FAQ 1.8. The somewhat shorted Rule 17 text
now refers to checks performed by tools, encourages
their use, discourages their misuse (overriding limits),
and is easier to read: we think.
The IOCCC28 will now open on **2025-03-05 23:19:17.131107 UTC**
and enter the judging state on **2025-06-05 04:03:02.010099 UTC**.
Updated sitemap, added news for 2025-02-12, and updated the status.
Performed `make www gen_status gen_sitemap timestamp` on macOS to complete the above.
